Howl

A sneaky little space filler wolf from a week or so back…..

Dragon and Goddess

We finally finished Johns sleeve. I might do a small amount of smoothing out here and there when he pops back in a few weeks but I think it turned out quite well.

Oh Dear

I’ve been so busy organising stuff and wandering off to get tattooed myself that I’ve neglected the site and I apologise again. I will keep it more up to date from now on……

First up is Kim with her bad ass octopus. I loved doing this as you can probably tell…..

Next up we did Candy Poison a tattoo for her burlesque identity.

Last up here is some heavy duty feet  roses – one of which is a cover up.

 

Monkey About

As previously mentioned I tattooed nothing but monkeys at the Scottish Tattoo Convention with all proceeds being donated to Primate Conservation and I was pleased to raise a fair sum – almost £800 in fact. I want to thank all those who got monkey tattoos and donated towards this fund and I’m sure the primates will thank you too. Here are some of the pieces – all Japanese influenced as no one chose the Western style ones (perhaps I should have put them on a flash sheet instead of the separate frames). Ook!

and not done at the convention but photographed there is Bip’s Bjork Snub Nose Monkey which is all healed and looking better for it!

Shishi/Foo

Mr Watson was back again had a cover up of an old tribal piece, a tribute to his dearly departed dog Sophie – there is still more to go but I thought I’d put this up anyway….

Japanese Influence

Chris had a Japanese influenced dragon and warrior sleeve. I really enjoyed patterning the warrior in particular here.

Traditional Times

I have been not very good at keeping up to date on here so my apologies for that. I have however been busy at work and at the Scottish Tattoo Convention (I’ll post some photo’s from that later). Here , however are some of the more traditional western pieces I’ve done in the last week or so. I hope you like them.

2012 Scottish Tattoo Convention 31st March-1st April

This weekend sees Edinburgh host the second annual Scottish Tattoo Convention. As can be expected there will be tattoo artists from all over the globe, stalls and entertainment. My lovely lady Kay McGregor will be doing vintage hairstyling for the ladies under her ‘Hairball Alley’ banner as well as unveiling her new headwear, hair flowers -’Wee Dottles’.

At the show I shall be tattooing only a few designs of purposely drawn primate based designs from a couple of sheets of flash that I prepared. All proceeds from any of these tattoos will be donated to Primate Conservation charities. So if you are attending please come along and see what is available and perhaps get yourself a very special primate piece.

I also have t shirts and tote bags on sale – with a primate theme of course……

Rockadile

Wes, our apprentice wanted a Rockadile in honour of a 7ft statue that they have at the Green Door. I thought a nice Egyptian/Rock’n'roll mandala would go well with it.

Fantastic

I’m sorry for the title…..but it IS a fox. Will bought me in a Rum Manhattan and gave him a Fox tattoo. Lucky us.
